Patent EP-0899791-A3 (EP)
Inventor: WILLIAMS RICHARD K
IPC: H01L29/78
Filed: 1998-08-14
Abstract: The gate of a MOSFET is located in a lattice of
trenches which define a plurality of cells. Most of
the cells contain a MOSFET, but a selected number of
the cells at predetermined locations in the lattice
contain either a PN diode or a Schottky diode. The PN
and Schottky diodes are connected in parallel with the
channels in the MOSFET cells, with their anodes tied to
the anode of the parasitic diodes in the MOSFET cells
and their cathodes tied to the cathode of the parasitic
diodes. When the MOSFET is biased in the normal
direction (with the parasitic diode reverse-biased),
the PN diodes provide a predictable breakdown voltage
for the device and ensure that avalanche breakdown
occurs at a location away from the trench gate where
the hot carriers generated by the breakdown cannot
damage the oxide layer which lines the walls of the
trench. When the device is biased in the opposite
direction, the Schottky diodes conduct and thereby
limit charge storage at the PN junctions in the diode
and MOSFET cells. This reduces the power loss in the
MOSFET and improves the reverse recovery
characteristics of the device when its bias is switched
back to the normal direction.

Abstract: The invention is directed to provide a code-amount
control device for use in video-coding device, which
controls the generated code-amount of each block (block
length) after variable-length coding in the video-coding
process to surely be less than the designated
target code-amount. The code amount control device is
provided with a rate control circuit (11) for setting a
target code-amount of each of blocks to be encoded, a
rounding circuit (7) for converting a sequence of
quantized values into a set of the number of continuous
zeroes and following thereto non-zero quantized values
and a code-length table (8) containing variable code-length
values to be allocated to respective sets of the
number of continuous zeroes and non-zero values. Before
variable-length encoding of the image block, the
rounding circuit (7) estimates by accumulating the code
length of each block with reference to the code-length
table (8) and outputs the quantized values as they are
to a variable-length coding circuit (9) when the
accumulated code-length does not exceed the target
code-amount. If the estimated code-length exceeds the
target code-amount, the rounding circuit (7) outputs
the quantized values after rounding off the excessive
portion thereof.

Abstract: A battery charger and a charging method capable of
charging a battery for a short period of time while suppressing
battery temperature from rising. The current temperature of
the battery is detected (in step S12) and a temperature rise
is calculated from the detected temperature (in step S14). An
allowable current map is then retrieved from the detected
temperature and the obtained temperature rise, an allowable
current with which the battery can be charged while suppressing
battery temperature from rising is obtained (in step S16) and
the battery is charged with the allowable current (in step S20).
Since the allowable current which the battery can be charged
with, while suppressing battery temperature from rising is
retrieved using the map which the allowable current is mapped,
based on battery temperature and battery temperature rise, and
charging current is controlled, it is possible to charge the
battery for a short period of time while suppressing battery
temperature from rising.
